Title: Fabricating stack capacitors
Inventor: CHOI YANG KYU
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 1995-06-22
Abstract: A method for fabricating a stack capacitor, for example, for use in a highly integrated semiconductor device such as a DRAM of 64 mega grade or greater. The stack capacitor is fabricated to have wing structures (8') with a right 90 DEG  inverted U shape and a left 90 DEG inverted U shape respectively at opposite ends of a polysilicon storage electrode (20). These wing structures result in an increase in the surface area of the storage electrode (20). A dielectric (9) is coated on the surfaces of the storage electrode (20) and a plate electrode (10) is then formed over the dielectric to form the capacitor (Fig. 7, not shown). The resulting capacitor has a large surface area and an increase in capacitance without any increase in its height. <IMAGE>

Title: Pivotable conveyor belt roller support frame
Inventor: HABBERLEY ALAN ANTHONY
IPC: B65G39/12
Filed: 1997-09-22
Abstract: A conveyor belt roller support is pivotally mounted on a support mounting means (15, Fig. 2) to pivot about a horizontal axis 19 perpendicular to the direction of travel of the belt 10 so that rollers 11, 12 mounted thereon can be moved from a first operative position in which they engage with the conveyor belt 10 to a second inoperative position where they are out of contact with the conveyor belt 10. This enables the rollers to be replaced easily, in the event of them becoming worn, without any need for the conveyor system to be shut down. The support may include locking means 17, 18 to prevent unwanted movement of the frame. In a particular embodiment the support comprises a pair of pivotally mounted support brackets 20, one on each side of the conveyor, linked by a cross member 22 which has further roller mounting brackets 23 for removably supporting the rollers. When the support pivots, the rollers move downwards away from contact with the belt conveyor 10 in to the inoperative position 11' and the cross member in position 22' acts as a temporary support bar for the belt.

Patent GB-2326423-A (GB)
Title: Process for degasolining a gas containing condensable hydrocarbons
Inventor: DOERLER NICOLE
IPC: B01D61/36
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: Water and condensable hydrocarbon compounds are removed from natural/refinery gas using a process involving refrigeration in the presence of methanol to achieve simultaneous condensation of the hydrocarbon compounds and absorption of water by the methanol, followed by separation to obtain a gaseous purified product that will contain entrapped methanol, a liquid aqueous phase that is predominately methanol with absorbed water and a liquid hydrocarbon phase containing some methanol. The two liquid phases are separated, the C 1  and C 2  compounds are removed from the liquid hydrocarbon phase and the remaining higher molecular weight compounds (#C 3 ) are treated with water to remove the methanol. A portion of this methanol free hydrocarbon phase is then used to recover at least a portion of the entrapped methanol in the purified gaseous product and the solution thus obtained is then combined with the liquid hydrocarbon phase obtained from the separation step. A number of configurations of this process are described in examples 1-3 and Figures 1-3 (not shown). The water is removed in order to prevent problems with gas hydrate formation during transportation/storage.

Title: Pressure balanced piston control system for a subsurface safety valve
Inventor: ADAMS JEFFREY K
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: A control system for a subsurface safety valve (SSV) comprises a control line 12 from the surface in fluid communication with the top side 20 of an actuating piston 10 which moves a flow tube downwardly to open the SSV (not shown). A balance line 14 runs from the surface to the bottom side 18 of the actuating piston 10 to put the actuating piston 10 in pressure balance. A build up of pressure in the control line 12 overcomes a return spring 22 to open the SSV, while removal of pressure from the control line allows the return spring 12 to close the SSV. Seals 6, 7, 8, 24, 26, 28 and a leak path 30 are provided through the actuating piston 10 so that, depending on the hydrostatic pressure in the control line 12 and the size of the return spring 22, the various failure modes of the actuating piston seals 6, 7, 8, 24, 26, 28 and the control line 12 or balance line 14 will preferentially result in a fail closed situation in the SSV.

Title: Process for injection moulding elements which can move rotationally with respect to each other
Inventor: CAODURO JEAN-PAUL
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 1999-12-08
Abstract: An injection moulding process for a bar/blade assembly for ventilation of a motor vehicle passenger space is formed using a bi-injection mould cooperating with a rotating carriage. In a first moulding phase, in a first impression in the bi-injection mould and with the aid of pins 4, blades 1 are injection moulded. The blades 1 are produced with essentially conical hollow axes 3, having a low retaining strength and constituting the axes of rotation (X-X) of the elements with respect to each other. These blades are removed from the mould and are transferred into a second impression in the bi-injection mould by rotating the carriage. Pins 5 are introduced into the conical cavities of the axes 3 obtained during the first moulding phase and make it possible to open out the ends 6 of these cavities to thus obtain a permanent plastic deformation of the axes 3 at this point. In a second moulding phase, the bars 2 are over-moulded by injection, at least partially around the hollow axes 3 of the blades 1 previously opened out by the pins 5.
